An abandoned five-storey shophouse that was gutted and converted into an experimental architecture research center by Finnish architect Marco Casagrande in 2010. Interior walls and windows were removed, holes were drilled through every floor, and bamboo and vegetables were planted throughout the building. It operated briefly as a base for workshops with Taiwanese and international universities before closing around 2013. The building remains abandoned.

Alexander Synaptic
Curator, Spectral Codex

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
